A Wooden Case That Turns Your iPad Mini Into A 1950s Television Set

This case from Jeffrey Stephenson transforms your iPad Mini into a retro TV set, from DesignTAXI.

Modeled after retro television sets, the ‘DuMont’ is made of birch plywood with a semi-gloss lacquer finish and comes with a speaker grille. It contains an opening that fits a Jawbone Jambox, and speaker controls are accessed from the bottom. Simply slot the iPad Mini into the side of the case to relive the nostalgia of a bygone era.

The ‘Dumont’ isn’t for sale but interested parties can contact Stephenson directly. For more information on how he created the case, visit the Bit-Tech forums to view the project work log.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
